Wedding Drink Station Ideas

First and foremost, you’ll need to pick the perfect wedding drink station location. A central location not far from guests’ seats is the perfect location. Design your wedding drink station to coordinate with your decor. For instance, a shabby chic or vintage wedding might tie in an old dresser or desk as part of the drink station decor.

A sign (and separation of drinks) is especially important for a kids section.

3. Pick your Drink

Decide what you want to serve depending on the theme and season. In the summer, ice cold beverages like beer or soda are always a hit, along with lemonades and punches. In the fall, cider is a crowd-pleaser, whether regular chilled apple cider, mulled apple cider (served hot), or spiked cider. In the winter, hot beverages (like cocoa and coffee) will keep guests cozy. Spring weddings call for mojitos, limeades, punch, or wine always fits right in.

4. Accessories

Drinking glasses is an obvious must-have at any wedding drink station. However, a mason jar drinking glass makes sipping more fun, especially with chalkboard tags onto which guests can write their names. If you’re buying mason jars for drinking, make sure you buy in bulk (you’ll save money!) Also, my personal favorite are these with handles.

If you’re having a self-serve bar, drink dispensers are a must have, as well as napkins, ice, and any toppings or mixers (if needed). You’ll also want to make sure all drinks are clearly labeled (especially when spiked with liquor). Don’t forget the bottled water!
